[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 1187973, member: 1356"] You bring up some good points, but I may have a way around them. 1) Portability- If I make my own out of sheet metal (per Thresher's suggestion), I could make it out of smaller pieces and put hinges on it so it folds up like a board game. (In fact, since I'm in the Air Force, for the price of a six-pack I could probably get it professionally flat-riveted and the edges folded under at the flightline metals tech shop. :) ) With four 2' x 3' pieces I could hinge two pairs of them together on the long edge, then hinge these pieces on the short edge of the top piece so it hangs flat. Then anyone in the group can just measure the placement of hangers on the top edge and have hooks ready for it. I know, I know- I've thought about this WAY too much. :p 2) Visibility - I was thinking to use minis only for the PCs and the Big Bads, Mooks and regular monsters would be counters. That should help with differentiating, at least between PCs and everyone else. Then I've got an idea for a clip-on magnetic base for the minis that could either be made in different colors or have distinctive flags attached (picture your mini with a pole in the back corner and a personalized banner above its head). As for someone having to be up all the time to maintain it. That shouldn't be a problem since I planned to have it right next to the DMs seat, so there shouldn't be much actual "getting up" at all. Any other thoughts or suggestions? What gaming set up works best for everyone? (Hmm, sounds like a good poll topic. ;) ) [/QUOTE]
